Former Saddam official: (Tariq Aziz) 'No genocide' against Kurds (blames Iran)
Associated Press
BAGHDAD, IRAQ -- A top official from Saddam Hussein's government says Iraq couldn't have launched the poison-gas attack that killed 5,600 Kurds in 1988 because it didn't have the nerve agent.
Tariq Aziz blames Iran.
Aziz is the former deputy prime minister and foreign minister. He and five others are on trial for charges connected to the attack on the Kurdish town. It was called the Operation Anfal campaign against Kurds in northern Iraq.
Among the other defendants is Ali Hassan al-Majid, also known as "Chemical Ali," who allegedly ordered the poison-gas attacks. If convicted, the defendants could be sentenced to death by hanging.
